The Scouting Network is live

The Scouting Network is live

Today we're flipping the Scouting Network from invite-only to public.

Anyone with a working email can sign up, read leads, follow the

leaderboard, and drop a trip pin on the world map. No tier, no card, no

demo call.

What's open

The Lead Board — every published lead from every verified agent on

the platform. Filter by country, position, contract status, fee band.

Each lead carries the agent's verification badge and current

leaderboard rank, so you know who you're reading before you message.

The Job Board — published openings from clubs and federations

running active searches. Posted positions, deadline windows, contact

gating by tier. Anonymous-club listings hide the crest until you

request mutual-disclosure.

The Leaderboard — verified agents ranked by closed deals,

total transfer volume, and recency. Country flag, roster size,

verification chip. Refreshes daily.

The Stadium Map — drop a pin when you're going to a fixture.

Other users on the platform see you're going. DMs route through

the trip-pin thread so first contact happens around real-world

attendance, not cold email.

What's coming

The next four weeks bring the match-chat layer (in-game commentary

on every fixture, attributed to scouts physically present), the

alerts engine (saved searches → push + email when a new lead matches),

and the first agent-verification API for federations who want to

verify their own licensed list against ours.

How to start

  1. Sign up at /signup — email and a club affiliation is

enough.

  1. Read the Lead Board guide and

Getting started doc.

  1. Drop a pin, post a lead, or DM an agent whose reputation you

want to check.

The whole point of a network is that it gets better when more people

use it. We've spent eighteen months making sure the floor is high

enough that you're not the only one on it — but at this point, every

new sign-up makes the next lead, the next leaderboard entry, the

next match-chat one tier more useful.

See you on the network.
